This invention relates to improvements in garment-hangers, It is particularly adapted to as a'suit-hanger lfor womens garments.

The object of the invention isto provide a .simple eflicient garment-hanger which adjusts I automatically to garments ofdifferentsizes I and holds them fully distended and that is at r 5 the same time simple in its, operation and economical to manufacture;
